Have you ever tried escaping into another world of peace, but eventually couldn’t?
Then here’s the ticket to such a world that our tea could take you to, just by simply sipping the cuppa brewed perfectly to make you get lost in a whole different world.
Do it like the “Teapot” way –
Everyone makes tea differently – but if you popped around your place, this is how you should brew.
If you are uncertain about what type of teapot to get, there are many options exist. Glass, Ceramic, Cast Iron, and Clay teapots are all viable alternatives.
The perfect teapot for loose-leaf tea should be practical, attractive, and go with your style. Teapots with in-built infuser baskets are recommended because they make it simpler to steep the tea at the right time.
Additionally, you should consider the size of the teapot when making your selection. If you are just preparing a cup of tea for yourself, a smaller teapot may work fine, while a bigger pot is likely more suitable for serving family and friends.
Treat your water kindly:
Run the tap a little so the water is nicely aerated, and only boil it once to keep the oxygen level up. Oxygen in water helps flavor!
Keep everything toasty:
Tea likes hot water, but a chilly teapot cools things down – so swirl a little boiling water around the empty pot first. For bonus points, use that water to warm the cups, too.
Add tea and water:
Add 2 Gms to 4 Gms to a 2-cup teapot (16 Oz) or 4 Gms to 6 Gms to a 4-cup teapot (32 oz). Pour the hot water in and stir a bit.
Wait patiently:
Tea needs time to unlock all its flavor, so give it 4-5 minutes to do its thing. This is a perfect time to munch a sneaky biscuit or daydream about holidays.
Or do it the Cuppa way – 
Add tea and water:
Pop a teaspoon of whole-leaf tea in an infuser/filter bag and steep in your mug, pour over the hot water, and stir briefly.
Wait patiently:
In order for tea to reach its full flavor potential, it requires a few minutes of steeping time – approximately 4 or 5 minutes.
Squeeze it:
Before removing the tea bag, delicately press it against the side of the cup; Just once, mind – if you squish it too much, it’ll taste bitter/ astringent.
Customize your brew:
We like a splash of semi-skimmed or whole milk, but your brew is unique, to you, so add milk, sugar, honey, lemon, or nothing at all. Most importantly, enjoy!

Are you a Miffy or a Tiffy? That’s the real question!
So, when should you add the milk? It’s an issue that divides tea drinkers into two camps: those who pour the milk into their mug first (Miffys) and those who pour their tea in before the milk (Tiffys). Let us know in the comments section if you are an avid Miffy fan or a big Tiffy supporter
Note: To keep your cast-iron pot warm for a prolonged period of time, it is recommended to initially heat it up with hot water.
It is possible to make tea by using the western technique in a clay teapot, but clay teapots are regularly used when making tea with the Chinese Gongfu Cha method, where tea is consumed through multiple steepings.
